Flying Romance is the most consistent in the field and is taken as the TEAMtalk selection to land this weak-looking affair. A course winner here last season she has been running well on turf of late and will be hard to beat. Starry Mary has been improving slowly of late and put in her best effort last time out at Epsom. Her one run on this surface was not her best so can be passed over here. Raise A Melody is an interesting runner stepping up in trip, as she has already showed she can handle this surface. If handling the trip she should go close. Another going into the unknown is Comtesse Noire who has the best turf form on offer but not only is she trying 12 furlongs for the first but this surface will be new to her.
